Gandhi Day: Gandhi’s Poignant Legacy

October 1, 2012 By GWEI Editor Leave a Comment On the 143rd birth anniversary of my grandfather I am reminded of a poignant statement he made to a journalist who asked: What do you think will happen with your philosophy after you die? With sadness in his voice he said: "The people will follow me in life, worship me in death but not make my cause their cause." How right he was! We have either rejected the philosophy of nonviolence as impractical or we have reduced it to a weapon of convenience and misused it. The philosophy is about personal transformation changing greed, anger, frustration and other negative attitudes into love, respect, compassion, understanding and acceptance. We have the capacity to act either way but we chose to suppress the positive and display the negative in order to project ourselves as powerful. What we forget is that the greatest power in the world is LOVE. It is also the basis of all civilization. We are materially wealthy, but morally bankrupt.

Strengthening Yourself Spiritually

 Just as with anything, including using your energies to perform things, we all need to continually strengthen ourselves spiritually to accomplish what we want to do. Whether  it's healing, telepathy, energy transfer or whatever, we need to keep it & ourselves in
shape spiritually to keep that part of us working properly.
Just as the physical needs to be kept up, so does the spiritual.

We are all spiritual beings as I have said, but we are for now, living in a physical / spiritual world, totally connected to both.

Our problem is, we see the physical & therefore tend to build up the physical more because of our daily life in it. We tend to neglect, to set aside our spiritual side, allowing it to weaken.

We are spiritual first. We need to keep ourselves strong in this realm.

Whether it be by prayer, tai chi, meditation, wiccan / native ceremonies or whatever to
enhance ourselves, we need to utilize it to the fullest to keep ourselves, us, spirit in shape.

Without being spiritually healthy, we become negative inside & out.
Whatever we are like spiritually, inside shows on the outside, physically.

Deep, personal meditation, tai chi, smudging, seeking after the spirit realm. These are the things that bring about change. These are the things that will  bring out the real you.

We need to learn to humble ourselves, look deep inside ourselves, seek truth within
ourselves & be willing  to apply the teachings to our everyday lives so that we
can become enlivened, enriched, more spiritual & closer to the ones who first created us as spirits.

The closer we get to them, the more spiritual we become. The more power, supernaturally
happens & miraculously things happen in our lives & the lives of those around us.

We fail or succeed because of ourselves. No one else.
When we strive for spirituality, we are literally making our way back to the Creators
from whence we came. 

Healing Power - How To Ulilize It

What is healing power? The power to heal ourselves or someone else is not new, nor is the power to perform it. I am a healer.

What we draw to ourselves, we receive, whether positive or negative. In this case, it's positive. The power to perform healings or any other kind of magick or miracles comes from within & without. I'll explain...

The ultimate power for anything we do spirituually comes from without..... a higher power who
imparts to us the ability to perform these acts. We become the extensions of love & life. Always direct your positive energies toward what you desire.
We are also spirits living within these physical bodies. We came orignally from  the other realm. Almost every religion in the world admits to another existance of our life no matter what we may call it.

When I perform a healing, I usually perform it by placing my right hand on the person or affected area. The power hand.

I have also done this simply by concentrating my thoughts, my mind, on the affected area. I command the area to heal. I envision the healing taking place.

People have remarked that they feel electricity or heat flowing as  do this.
I direct the condition to flow out of them & for the area to be completely healed. As soon as the healing takes place, I feel the flowing energy stop in my hand. I know it is done. Many verifications from people exist concerning the effectiveness of this.

Humbleness & thanksgiving are key ingredients to being able to perform acts of love. Believe that what you're going to be asking for is going to take place. Believe with all your heart.

Negative elements or emotions have no place & will block the flow of energy. Concentration, love in action, faith, belief, humbleness, thanksgiving are all keys to success for yourself or someone else.

We cannot be negative & expect positive results. If we send out positive energies, we receive positive results. never look to the condition, but rather, to the healing. If we send out negative energies, we receive negative results. It's as simple as that. Look to the Higher Power to perform the healing through you. You are the vessel.

The choice is yours. What we do in this life, whether positive or negative affects us in this life & the next.

The Spirit Within The Spirit - A True Story

" You know nothing about me until you have seen my spirit."
Makwa

A few years ago, I was honoured to be able to attend a powwow near my home, set up by the Mohawk brothers & sisters. It was the first day of the powwow & we waited with anticipation for the Grand Entry through the Eastern door to the Sacred Circle. A beautiful moment & I looked forward to it.

The time came to enter the circle, & as  did, the announcer had the brothers who fought for Canada in various armed forces form a line so we could honor them & shake their hands in thanksgiving.

Natives aren't usually honored properly by the government for their participation.
As I went from brother to brother shaking hands, I stood beside the other warriors & there stood before me one who towered over me. He was an older man, kind in spirit & he just stared at me.

I extended my hand toward him & instead of grasping it, he embraced me in a huge
 ( makwa) bear hug. He held onto me until he finally let me go. To my knowledge I was the only one he had hugged that day.

He spoke some words to me & I passed on down the line to the others.

I danced hard that day. Around 4:00 pm we sat at a picnic table relaxing after a long day. I was dancing in the Circle that evening too & wanted to rest. I was exhausted.

I noticed a man crossing the crest of the hill just above the table were we sat. He was a big man. I had forgotten about the meeting earlier in the day. I noticed as he headed straight for our table.

Leaning on it with both hands he said, " I know you & I know your whole family." I was dumb founded. " What was going on?"

I was at a loss to understand why this stranger would out of nowhere come up to us & say this. He never did tell me his name.

He started telling me about what had happened that morning with the hug & all. He told me that he was a high priest in our teachings & I felt truly honoured that he would address me.

He then called his wife, Anna, over to tell her the story. I still didn't know why he was telling us all of this. He told her of meeting me. He told of being told in his spirit to hug me instead of shaking my hand.

He also told something very different. He told Anna that when he hugged me he felt something. Anna asked if it was energy & the reply he gave was, "  No, Not like the kind of energy as we know it."

" It was a spirit that went from this man's body into my body." He told of it being such a gentle spirit & that it reflected through me & in me.

I have always known there was something else spiritual  inside me. Even as a child I could feel something extra there. Not in my physical but spiritual. I could always feel this presence.

We talked for along time about the powwow, about this happening that he had just experienced. He had such a gentle spirit himself even before he hugged me. He was such a brother with living love flowing through him that it emanated all around him.

He imparted something very special to me as we talked. He said he had watched as I danced in the Circle. When Natives dance it is not just a dance. We dance with love. We dance in the spirit.

We dance for a variety of reasons including prayer. We dance not only in the physical but in the spiritual also.  He told me the greatest advice I could ever receive. He said, When you dance in the Circle, always remember, the drum is the heart beat of the Indian Nation. When you hear the drums beating, you are hearing your own heart beat. The drums are our very life.

Listen to the drums, follow the beat of the drums until it becomes apart of you. Dance to the beat of the drums as one. Become one with the drums."

I listened to this wise one & I listened not only with my ears but in my spirit. 

I danced again that night & as I did, his words came back to me. Words of life to not only my dance but also my spirit. His words echoed in my mind... " The drum is the heartbeat of the Indian nation.

Be one with the drums." Those words of truth poured over me again & again. At each step I took I could hear them echoing in my ears, my mind, my spirit. They were literally living words.

I did. I listened. I heard the voice of the drums calling me. I asked the Creator to guide me in my dance. I danced like I have never dance before in my life. I became one with the drums that night.

They were not separate from me but apart of my very being. I could see others watching as I danced the sacred dances. I didn't care. It was like I was taken over by the beat of the drums, filling me with new life, new hope, new joy & peace. I had someone remark later as to my dancing which I was grateful for.

To this day, I listen to the heartbeat of the drums when I dance. I listen to what gives us life in our spirit. When we feed our spirit it shows on the outside. I still to this day hear those chosen words of one so wise in love.

The last day of the powwow, we met again. The dancing was over. The celebrations were over for another year. This same elder approached me as I stood by our tent, & we talked.

Before we parted ways, we hugged once again. It was a brotherly hug of living love. As we hugged, I whispered in his ear, " The Creators blessings on you, my brother."

As I looked up, I saw tears forming in his eyes. Those eyes of love. I will never forget him nor his wife Anna. It was such a special meeting, A destined meeting between not only the physical but a meeting of spirits. We promised to meet the following year in the Sacred Circle to talk. 

We never had the opportunity to attend the following year. I wish we had. I think of him & Anna often.

I feel their love, their warmth, their gentleness of spirit each time I remember them.

Hopefully, someday I will be honored to be able to meet them again. Not only did my spirit touch this mans spirit but in  turn, both him & his wife touched & changed my life with that meeting.

I know that someday, whether it be here or in the next realm we will meet again & we will sit & talk about truths in the spirit.

Each time I relay this story it stirs my spirit & brings tears to my eyes. It happened to me & 

I am so truly  honored that we met & joined our spirits in truth & love. Only from our spirit can we ever experience something like this.

 The Creators blessings on both this special person & his wife, Anna.

What is Smudging?

Smudging goes back I believe to the beginning of time as a way to personally cleanse ourselves of unwanted negative elements such as stress, anger or any negative energies that may be around us.

I have personally used smudging in such things as clearings of negative energies & presences, used it in healings for myself & others. It is a positive way to rid those energies & produce a calming, peaceful effect on the mind, body  spirit, plus the atmosphere around you.

You may ask, " Does this involve drugs?" No. This has nothing to do with anything like that. So, if you were hoping on catching a buzz off the herbs forget it. This is the wrong site for you. You would not be ready to receive these teachings. They are for spiritual advancement only.

The only things used are all natural. I will give you the herbs that I use when I smudge here in this article.

They are:
sweet grass, buffalo sage, tobacco, cedar. Sometimes, I'll throw in a bit of lavender & maybe some rosemary.

Smudging is a ceremonial rite. It is sacred not only to yourself but to millions across time who have used this practice in their own lives.

It is used by many types of people such as natives, which I am, wiccans, those who practice meditations plus many more.

In our native teachings it is sacred. It is our way of reaching inside ourselves to wash away that which is not desirable. It is our cleansing.

Smudging is serious business & needs to be looked at as such, respecting the practice & the sacred herbs.

We use this practice as a way to offer our prayers to the Creator & Mother Earth. When we smudge & offer our prayers, we believe that the smoke of our smudge is carried to the Great One & with it goes our hearts most inner desires.

It has been said that when we offer the smoke of our smudge, the elders who have gone on before us also offer their smudge to further along our prayers.

Smudging is not just a physical action, but has spiritual overtones to cleanse, strengthen, purify & open up possibilities  to your physical & more importantly spiritual world. It is an essential part of your personal being, physically / spiritually.

                                                      How To Smudge

Note:
I do not recommend this practice for those of you who may be inflicted with any respiratory problems.

You will need  something to hold your herbs in that will not break from the smoldering herbs. I use an abalone shell. It you have a large feather to fan the smoke with you can use this also.

Add some of the herbs to the shell or whatever you have, but be careful not to add too much. The more you add, the more smoke it will produce, unless you are doing a smudging of an area outside.

Remember, this is a sacred rite & needs to be done in a sacred manner showing respect for what you are doing.

When you smudge each area, ask your Higher Power to cleanse away all negativity. ie: your eyes.." Please keep my eyes pure today so that I will see only good in my life & good in others."

Place your shell, etc, on a solid object if you are smudging for your personal use. Light the herbs but be careful. You are dealing with hot stuff. Excuse the pun.

Do not allow the herbs to burn up in the flame but instead, take your feather, if you have one & fan out the flames, producing only the smoke. There are various parts of your body that you will cleanse in this rite.

The eyes:
Close your eyes for this one & cup the smoke, bringing your hands close to your eyes. Allowing the smoke to reach this area. Remember to keep your eyes shut so that the smoke does not enter your eyes.

When you smudge your eyes, you are purifying your eyes so that in your desires you are asking that you may see & accept with your eyes only that which is good, rejecting all that is negative for you to see.You may open you eyes for the rest.

Once again, cup the smoke & repeat the same to your ears. In this way you are asking that you will hear & listen to only that which is positive, rejecting gossip & negative talk.

Your lips:
 Do the same to the lips, so that you will only speak that which is right & truthful.

The mind:
 Your mind is a playground & needs to be cleansed also. Cleanse the mind area to repel negative thoughts & that you will only concentrate & think on those things which are positive & good.

Your heart area.... spirit:
 This is not for the heart per say as in the muscle but what we mean here is the spirit of us which is inside our physical being.The true & real us.

Smudge this also so that you will become purified in your spirit without any negativity living within. Remember, what we do in the physical comes from the mind & our desires in our spirit to produce in the physical.

Your body:
This repels any negative energies around you. It also has a protecting element involved with it. It literally covers you with the essence of the smudge for your physical being.

Cup the smoke & start from your head, moving over the head & down over your body. Repeat if you think you need to.

Do the feet, then take your feather, etc, & smudge your back area as best you can. If you are smudging with someone else, they can do your back for you also.

This is your act of purification. Your personal reaching out from the physical to the spiritual. You are not only touching your physical with the smudge but also your spirit. If you perform this rite each day, you will find that you will grow in mind & spirit. It will open doors to you from within yourself that maybe you never knew existed as to your spiritual self.

Always keep in mind that what you are doing here is not only as I have said physical, but spiritual. 

Reach out to the Great Spirit, your guide, your God, your Goddess, whoever you may honor when you do each part & earnestly ask for that part of your body & spirit to be cleansed. 

You will feel the difference. You will see the difference. You will know that something awesome has taken place in your life if you allow it to work.

Others also, will begin to see the difference in you. The love showing through. The peace within & without.

Always remember to be thankful. Give thanks for your life. Give thanks for all that is good in your life. This is also part of smudging. To experience cleansing in your life. To offer thanks for your life.

To be thankful deep inside, feeling it for all that you ask for in life & what you have received & what you are about to receive.

Be thankful & you will see such a difference in your life & within yourself that the transformation will make. It's all because of you. You are spiritual living inside your physical body.

When you feed your spiritual, you also feed & uphold your mind & physical. We cannot expect healings or whatever we are asking & seeking to take place fully unless we are in balance in all areas of our life.

How To Give Thanks In All Circumstances

Life is full of struggles, but we don't have to sit & wallow in life's depression. We can rise above situations if we know how. We can even learn to take charge of negative situations in our lives & reverse them for the better. I'm going to teach you how.

Dealing with life's circumstances lies within us. We hold the power to fulfillment. We only need to learn how to tap into its resources.

Our power lies within each of us as I have said. The greatest hindrance to spiritual & outward  success lies within us. We are the creators of our destiny, our success or our doom. How we choose to live our lives determines our outcome.

Negative produces negative. Positive actions & thoughts produce positive reactions, not only from us but in us. Both negative & positive thoughts, actions, reactions can affect not only us but those around us as well, plus the whole atmosphere around us.

Peace draws peace. Love draws love, but negativity draws negativity. Deep inside ourselves we hold the key. If we are of a positive nature, full of love & out giving, it shows on the outside. The same goes for those who are negative.

We cannot give true. open love & kindness if we are filled with bitterness, anger, hate, self indulgence or any other negative action, thought or reaction. We need to rid ourselves from these things before we can produce the good elements. 

We don't need to fight to get rid of that which is undesirable but rather, each day, each night set yourself aside, quietly, thinking on that which makes you happy, satisfied, loved, full filled. Concentrate on only that which is good. Give thanks to for those good things in life. 

Turn your eyes away from the stress, the problems of the day. Think only on the good, the pleasant, the loving times in life. Be thankful until you actually feel the negativity melting away, the love slowly flowing in.

I'm not saying it will be easy, especially the first time you try it, but believe me, it works if you keep at it. Refuse to allow the negativity to touch you. Refuse to be apart of it at all. 

Accept only that which makes you smile inside,. Accept that which is only good & kind inside. Look  deep within yourself. Under all that stress, all that pain or whatever you're feeling lies love, pure love.

You may say, " I can't feel any love. That's alright. Understand one thing. We are all created in love spiritually, created through love spiritually & from love spiritually. We may experience trials in the physical, but we can over come them by searching for that love. By learning to open up to love.

Underneath all those trails, all those tears, all that anger or pain lies love. We can't get away from it. It is such a part of us because we are created ' Love".

How can we escape that which we are ?

Reach out, give thanks, feel the sadness disappear the hurt mend, the anger vanish just by reaching inside yourself, reaching down for love which you possess.

It cannot be destroyed. It is us. It is who we are inside. The hate, the pain, the stress or sadness are reactions from out side forces in our lives that are affecting us. They do not have to have control of our lives if we refuse to allow them that right.

Keep bringing your thoughts back to what you want & that is joy, love peace, happiness. 

Refuse those ugly thoughts to burden you down, to weigh you down. They are not apart of who you are. They are but a byproduct of life & we DO NOT have to accept them.

When we learn to bring joy back into our lives, we will, if we keep giving thanks for what we really want, what our true desires are we will see our desires come to pass in our lives. But, we must never give up in watching for it, in seeking for it. 

Be thankful for what you desire even before you have received it as if you already have it in your life. Believe it's there with you now in your life. Hold onto it & never let go. It's your answer. 

Don't allow anyone or anything to rob you of it for your life.

When we send out negativity, negativity returns to us in like manner. In other words, what we send out will eventually return in our lives. If we send out the positive thoughts, feelings of love, we will experience the same returning to us in like form. 

Our desires, our loves, in our lives can & will be made manifested if we look to the answers as to being thankful for our lives, thankful for what we have & what we want in & through life.

Be honest with yourself. You have to want the change to take place. You, yourself have to want your life to be better, to be more peaceful, more caring,more joyful in circumstances. 

We may not like what life throws at  us, but we do not have to be beaten down by it. We can still hold our heads high, looking for & to the answers for our lives. 

If we can't see the answers, simply ask for guidance from your source, being thankful that the answer is there for you. It just has to be revealed. 

I believe that before we came here to planet Earth, our answers were already prepared for us. All we needed was the proper time to ask for that which already exists.

We can wallow in self pity or we can take a stand & ask, trusting for the help we need & see what we need materialize in our lives. I prefer to ask my higher power for help, believe that 

I'm not alone in my struggles, keep my eyes on the answer that I know will come in the right time & joyfully give thanks each & every day for the change, the love, the fulfillment in my life that I desire.

Reach out, give thanks, learn to be thankful for your life. The bi products are secondary. They can be dealt with. The most important thing in your life, to make your life, to shape your life is inside you. Look within. You will find the answer.

It is my greatest desire & prayer that you will find the keys to your life. That love shall be with you in all things & that joy, prosperity, peace & love shall always be your constant companions.

Blessings,

Dalton ( Makwa)

Opening The Circle

When we open the circle we are are literally creating a safe haven so to speak for ourselves to perform various acts of spirituality. It is not only a physical act but with the purpose of becoming full filled spiritually, casting spells for various things or whatever our purpose may be.
Now, as you know, what I teach is diff than some. It works though if we do it right, do it with all our heart & expect to feel, see & experience what we are seeking.
Faith, entering in love into the circle & oneness is all important to achieve what you want.

Before you begin to cast your circle, purify the area if possible where you will cast. Smudge it if possible. You don't want any negative elements hanging around.
You need a clean, clear space where you will perform your ceremony. You thoughts must be in unity with what you are going to do.
Alleviate any noise, hindrance, or negativity. It is also a good idea to smudge ones self before creating the circle. You also need that special cleansing.
Remember, it is an act of communicating with those who are of a higher order than we are in this realm.
 
Faith to receive what you are asking for isn't just a Christian concept. It is a spiritual concept that also applies to anyone who is seeking an answer no matter what the method of obtaining it.

Too many make the mistake of entering the circle & it is nothing more than a formality to them.
They never receive what they desire but remain dead inside, always searching deep inside because they have never found the secret to making what they do become alive with literal power. When a circle is done properly, as one progresses, they will feel the spirits drawing toward them as I, as you invite them. The circle is not just a place of performing various rites but as I said, a place of communication. The spirit realm is very much alive. We are alive & our practices & communications need to be alive or we will never, ever grow in the faith but will remain stagnant & dead inside, always searching & never full filled.

After smudging ones self & your area of dedication, Take your wand, athame or whatever you use in hand. I always start with the north. Pointing my wand of athame in that direction, I call the spirits, the elements, the guides to come & commune with me. I then turn to the east. Always open your circle in a clockwise manner. It will close on the counter clockwise direction. Simply reversing the circle. Don't forget to thank the spirits also who attend for communion & for hearing your requests.

Continue with the South direction, then the North. Some start with the East. I have also done this as it is basically Native. The sun rises in the east, the giver of life. It really doesn't matter whether it is the North or east you start with. I'll leave this up to you. As for these two directions, what really counts is your sincerity in what you are doing. You are still calling in the elements, the directions, the helpers & guides. They are more concerned with the fact of your love, your honesty & the condition of purity of ones spirit than mere physical things. They will still come if we ask politely & honestly from our spirit. ( You would probably find others who would argue these points with me, but we have done it this way since time began.) Remember, all things done are not simply physical religious acts. They are a part of our spirituality if we allow them to manifest themselves in us & through us.

If you use candles, salt rocks, mediation music or whatever, get these going before you start to cast. I also invite the spirits of Mother Earth to commune.
You will know for a fact when they do come as you will literally feel their energy flowing toward you. You will feel when they surround you & it will be with an strong energy of love & positivity. What happens in ones life spiritually depends solely on us, our attitudes, our desires to become full filled, our condition of us as spirits.
Once you have created the circle, I like to close my eyes & mediate for a minute as I feel the positive energies, the spirit realm coming toward the circle.

I am one who loves to bask in the positive energies before I start anything. It cleanses my spirit further. I can feel the love of acceptance.
Know what you are entering the circle for before you go in. If it is healing, knowledge, gifts, enhancement or whatever, know that you know that you know what you need.
The guides will be there, waiting, listening desiring to commune, to help. They are simply waiting for us to address them with our love, our requests, our gratitude.
I always uphold my arms as I present my requests in showing full surrender to them & in this way it is also a sign that I am willing to allow them to intervene in whatever I may need their help with. Believe & expect your answer. Once you have made your request, try to keep your thoughts away from the negative side of whatever you need.

Concentrate on the answer coming through. Mind focus on the answer. The more you do this, the easier it will become. It is like if a person asks me for something but they are always getting in my way. I cannot help them because they are displaying lack of faith in my ability to help. The same goes with the spirit realm.
 
We block so many of our answers because we can never let go of our problems. Instead, we ask for help but are not willing or able to fully surrender them to be answered.

We need to learn to give it up & let go if we expect to receive an answer.

The way to communion is simply. Too many make it complicated simply because they don't understand. They rely too many times on the physical instead of seeing with their spiritual eyes that the guides want to help. They are there waiting, watching, listening & prepared to come to our aid whenever we need them. The biggest hindrance is ourselves in looking too much at life as a purely physical realm & missing the ultimate point that we are spiritual beings first & always will be.

Therefore, we need address our helpers who are also spiritual in all truth & acceptance of their abilities to help.. What could be more simple than that?
The elders .. natives communicated on a regular basis, not just as part of the teachings, but it was part of their very existence. It was in their blood. It was part of their existence, their very breath. This is also how I am now.

It can become the very breath you breath, your constant thought in knowing inside yourself that you do not walk alone in this world.
These teachings are just as important & even more so than the circle or anything that is a ceremonial trait. When we are in the circle, it will become so alive if we apply these truths to our lives in practice.

Have a heart of thanks giving when in the circle & before & even afterwards. Be truly thankful for the communion, the times of being in the presence of those who attend, both physically & spiritually. Be thankful for the requests that are about to be answered. Our thankfulness brings about results even before they are fully answered. Most people loose their answer because of lack of thankfulness from the heart so to speak.

When all is said & done, give thanks, reverse your circle in directions & close your ceremony. Remember, what we do in Wicca / Native teachings do not come from us or anyone in the physical if they are true teachings, but from the spirits who created all things. They are guidelines of communications so that we can continue to communicate with the higher powers while we are living in this realm. Just because we entered this world doesn't mean that the higher powers left us alone. We are & always will be apart of them, & one day we will return to them as we have lived before in their presence.

Spirit Guides

Spirit guides are a big topic these days & for good reason. More & more people are finding that they are interested in a variety of topics that involve spirits. We are not alone in this world. Teachings that have existed for thousands of years that involve spirits, fairies, the occult, Native beliefs & practices, & the list goes on, are finally coming to light as a bonifide & legitimate set of beliefs.
Don't expect to win the world with your beliefs. As long as you are content, satisfied & at peace with yourself on who you are, what you accept as truth & practice it in action, your on the right track.

I met my spirit guide almost three years ago. It was a moment that caused an awakening for me in my spirit & transformed my understanding of the spirit realm & my life .
In our home, we have a large number of Aboriginal ornaments & artifacts. I remember as I would lay in bed, the sound of some of the statues & pieces being moved on a table I have in my bedroom. At first I thought that maybe a mouse had gotten in & was scurrying around. I finally realized that these items were being picked up as I could hear them very gently being set back in place. Have I spooked you yet? Don't be. Everything I am relaying here is true & for a point. This went on for a few days. If I turned on the light, it would always stop, but resume shortly after all was dark again. I experienced no fear what so ever when this was happening but a calm, peaceful presence.

My youngest daughter came to me a few days later, telling me about seeing a little Aboriginal girl in my room. With us being of Native decent, I knew that such things were possible & I had no doubts that she had indeed seen someone. I had her describe the girl to me.

About a week later, I had gone into a restaurant for a coffee. I was sitting relaxing when I happened to look out the window, as the table was against the outside of the building. Everything within me froze. Not with fear, but with wonderment & amazement at what I saw.

About in midair, I watched as an Aboriginal man, in his 30's, long, straight black hair, knelt on the ground, hands raised high in the air in honour of his Creator. He had no shirt on & I listened as I heard him cry & wail a chant that I knew came from the very depths of his heart. He was pouring out his soul in his prayers & honour. I was transfixed as I stared. I felt like an intruder, but I also knew that I was being given a special chance to not only watch a ceremony of honour but to see someone from the realm of the spirits from the past. In my spirit, I knew that he had lived on this earth more than a hundred years before. It was a realization that just appeared to my mind.
Somehow, I just had this knowledge from him. The realization has been brought to life since that time that his prayers were for me. I am truly honored.

The whole revelation lasted about five seconds, but within that time, I had seen a miracle, if you will, that a lot of people never get the chance to see.
I turned to the other person sitting at the table & stared. When I asked her if she saw what had just happened, she looked puzzled & said, she hadn't seen anything.
Everything in the restaurant was normal as it should be. Was I losing it? NO! It was all very real.

Shortly after, my same daughter who had seen the little girl came to me one night, telling me about seeing the girl again. This time though, she said there was a man with her. I hadn't mentioned anything to her about seeing this man. I was curious, so I had her describe what he looked like. She took me up to my room & showed me exactly where they were standing. She said it was like they were just above the floor, floating. She showed me how he stood there with his hands folded in the sign of peace across his chest, indicating that his mission was one of non violence. My daughter had never been taught about this sign of peace before. She had no knowledge of any of this beforehand. She described for me in detail what he looked like, where they stood & what was said.

The man my daughter described to me was the same man I saw a few days earlier. Even as I write this article, I can feel a presence around me. It was & is such a real & transforming experience.

My daughter told me about talking with this girl as they both stood there looking at my daughter. She said they both had such a look of peace & contentment on their faces.
I ask her what the little girl had told her. She said that her name was Makala, & that she was of the Algonquin tribe. The man turned out to be her father.

Since that time, Makala has visited my home on numerous occasions. We have come to realize a love that has developed for these people & feel love in return.We have heard many conversations taking place in my daughters room. Not like the childlike ones you hear when a child makes up a make believe friend. These where actual, intelligent, back & forth conversations. I have walked into the room & realized that there was a presence there. The man turned out to be my guide & his daughter was to be the guide for my daughter.

What I see in him tells me what he was also like when he was in the physical. A kind, gentle, loving person who's heart was out going to others.

We all have a spirit guide. We are not alone. Many times we may not always feel their presence, but they are there to support you, to guide you, to walk with you through every step you take in this life. Honour them as they honour you. Your guide may be someone from the past, as mine is, or maybe an angel or quite possibly someone you don't even know, but they are real & will help you when you need them. They also are there to reprimand us when they know that we are about to do something that will help destroy or harm us. This is their love in action for us. We may not like it or appreciate it at the time, but if we could see ahead we would understand.

There are times when we see the results of what could have been, a disaster for us or someone we love. Then we understand that even though we were told, " No" it was for our own good in some way.

Trust what your guide tells you. Always know that it is your guide speaking, guiding you. If it is, the impression or the voice will grow more intense in alot of cases. Learn to hear your guide. Talk to them. It may sound silly for those who have never experienced this before, but try it, alone. Tell them they are welcome in your life & that you want to be their friend as they want to be yours. In time, you will understand that the sensations, the feelings of someone being beside you are real. Not just your imagination.

Learn to tell the different between your thoughts & desires & the directions of your guide. If an idea or thought or impression comes to you, always examine it , analyze it to make sure that it is not just some whim that has crossed your mind. In time you will be able to tell the difference. You will be able to hear your guide, to feel their presence on a regular basis. Nothing happens by so called coincidence. There is no such thing. Everything comes about by design, whether it be from the other realm or by our actions or inaction's or even the actions or inaction's of someone else.

Your guide can become your closest companion if you learn to allow them to guide you. Listen for that voice or that urging that comes in circumstances. Watch for that sign that accompanies events in your life. If your making difficult decisions, you can ask for guidance. They are here to give what you need to make the right choice. If you're new to spirit guide teachings, understand one thing. When you are dealing with those from another realm & even though you may have problems that you are trying to resolve in the physical, train yourself to concentrate your attentions on the one whom you are asking for help in the matter. Remember, when you ask for their help, you are literally putting your confidence in another person to help you out as you would anyone. They can see the situation more clearly than we can. They also know the timing of things about to happen in any given situation & when the answer will come about & how.

Are you willing to put your faith, your trust in their hands? It doesn't mean that you get off with doing nothing. It doesn't work that way. They are your guides, not your slaves. It is also up to us to do our part to make life work as it should. No one wants to do everything & us just sit there. Not even your guides. They are there to guide & help us in our lives.. We are here to do our part.

 I hope that something I have said here will be of a comfort or maybe an encouragement for those who read it.

Telepathy

For years we have heard about telepathy. The transfer of thoughts or emotions to another person no matter how far away they may be. Is it possible to do such things as this in this world of reasoning & so-called logic?
The answer is... yes.

 The power of the mind is basically unlimited in my opinion. We have come but a short way with what capabilities we possess as humans. Actually, I firmly believe we have regressed instead of advancing in so many ways. Science has already said that we use only a small portion of the brain. Therefore, if there is unused potential there, what was it intended for in the first place & why have we fallen so far back that we have neglected our full potential?
I've given this a great deal of thought. I've looked at my life, who I am as a person, my beliefs & if I can improve on that which is lacking to make me who I am supposed to be.

Have you ever been in a situation & suddenly the phone rings or someone comes to the door whom you were just thinking about? Aha!
Some say it's coincidence. No such thing. Everything we do happens for a reason. We don't always see the reason behind the events or actions, but trust me, it's there. When you look back & examine the facts, the events, you start to see how it all fits into place, like a puzzle.

Telepathy is simpler than you might think. It's, in my opinion part of who we are, but we don't use our inborn gifts to bring them out like we should. If we starve the body, or the mind, then we become sickly physically & mentally, not to mention emotionally & spiritually.


Have I used telepathy & actually saw it work? I can honestly answer that with a ," Yes." It's part of who we are. Why shouldn't we use it & every other gift & ability we have?


Think about this. Have you ever been in a situation where instinctively you just knew what someone was going to say before they opened their mouth? Of course you have.
We all have. That is an example of telepathy, mind & thought transfer.


We take so much for granted in this materialistic world that we have become blinded to who we really are as a physical & spiritual person. If we neglect either side, then we loose our ability to live to our fullest.

I have seen in my own life, thought transfer when I least expected it. I remember once, my eldest daughter had come to me for advice on her relationship with her boyfriend.
OK! What did I get myself into?

We went to a private spot to talk. Before she could open her mouth to say a word, I saw the words before me of what she was about to say.


Instinctively, before she could say anything, I said, " Honey, this is what you wanted to ask me." She stared at me. " Yes, dad. That's what I wanted to ask you."


Again she went to asked something else. It happened again & a third time without her saying a word about what she wanted. I hadn't even known before that what she wanted to talk about, only that she wanted to talk. What went on was a transfer of her thoughts to me. 
That's how I knew what she wanted. Is that normal? Yes it is. Or in other words, super normal. I have seen this ability over & over again . It happens here at home all the time.

I remember once, my other daughter went to say something, & I read her thoughts before she got it out. What I got back was a big pair of hazel eyes, wide as saucers, & her mouth dropped open. "WOW!", was all she could say.


You too have powers that you wouldn't believe that you were born with. What we see as the norm is not the whole picture.


Are we able to transfer thoughts intentionally to another person. Yes! Both intentionally & unintentionally. Some people are very sensitive to thought transfer & can pick up
on energy vibrations very easily.


Practice makes perfect in all things & this is no exception.

A few years ago, I had really needed to get in touch with a person who lives overseas. It would have been so easy to just pick up the phone & call them but this wasn't the case at this time. I had such a strong desire to talk to them but I wasn't about to make the move. 

Instead, I concentrated my energies & thoughts to that person day after day.
It had become a consuming thought, an overpowering desire to send them a message to think about me, to contact me, to even to the point of dreaming abut me. These desires of mine played themselves out in her life.

About a week went by & all of a sudden the desire stopped. The desire was deep inside me, something that I hadn't started but was there. At the end of the week, the phone rang. It was this same person asking to talk to me. I took the phone & we talked for a few minutes. Out of nowhere, She said to me, " I wish I could stop thinking about you & dreaming about you. They are weird dreams & I felt I needed to call you" End quote.


All I said was, " Oh, how long has this been going on?" Her reply was, " About a week now. It just started out of nowhere."
 
Understand one thing. Telepathy is NOT mind control, nor is it brainwashing or anything that has to do with controlling another person's mind or thoughts. I didn't control my friends thoughts when I used telepathy. She was still a free thinker in her own right. I simply sent her a message that I needed to talk to her. 

Even as to going so far as to mentally suggest she dream about me which did happen night after night as a means of getting her attention. At that time I really needed to talk to her & I simply used every avenue available to try to get her to call me.

Never, ever use the gifts against another as a way to control, hurt or hinder. We possess our gifts as a way to do good for ourselves & others. If we neglect the good & hold to that which is negative then we loose out on what is available to us. We put ourselves in jeopardy of loosing the goodness we have & bringing back on ourselves a negative reaction.

Remember, what we do in the physical shows our true nature in the spirit.

Blessings.

Ridding Ones Self Of Negativity

Emotions whether positive or negative lie deep inside us, our spirit. When we are filled with so much negativity we cannot fully feel the love that is within us.
We are loving beings, designed this way. We are not creatures of hatred, anger beyond control, or resentment. We are initially free spirits in the sense of love, goodness, kindness, hope & faith. Just as we were when we first came here in this world as babies, innocent, but full of love & goodness.
 
Time, life, circumstances tend to shape us, to make us into what we become if we allow them to, to create us into beings that we were never intended to become.
The love we once felt, the kindness & goodness we once experienced is still there even though it doesn't seem like it. We may be struck down by stress, negative thoughts & emotions but when you understand the full spectrum of how we are, how we are created, you will see that we did not loose that love, that oneness.
It's still there inside you, deep inside.

Understanding ourselves is the first step to loosing all that we want to rid ourselves of. The power to loose it & control it from coming back lies deep inside us,
not someone else but us. When we first came here, we came not empty handed but equipped with a myriad of gifts, talents, powers to create ourselves & make us into the right person that we want to be & should be. The keys to making ourselves into the kind of person we want to be is in our hands. We only need the willingness, the direction & the desire to turn that key so that we can take that very important first step to where we belong. 
 
If you're sitting there looking at yourself, thinking that I may be so very wrong in what I'm saying consider this. What made you this way? What turned you from whom you were to what you are today? 

Was it something that went wrong in your life? Was it a person or was it simply that you either lost sight of yourself as a kind being or did you never find out who you are inside? Seeing ourselves on the outside is one thing. Understanding & knowing ourselves on the inside is quite another.

The answer lies as I said, deep within ourselves. We are created physical & spiritual. Two-fold in this respect. You can read all the books you want, attend appointments for the rest of your life to help find yourself, but until you get rid of all that unwanted emotion, the hurt, the anger, the bitterness, you will never find yourself. 

You will never be totally free to live your life free from your inner self of negativity. Therapy has its purpose, but you will never deeply be satisfied as to knowing yourself until you are able to reach way down, deep inside & discover your true self. Only then will you be satisfied.
Only then will you have true peace.

Take a minute & look at yourself. Do you like who you are? Is this the person you want to be for the rest of your life? It's your choice. Your life.
We hold the keys to unlocking that which we need, whether it is healing in whatever form, stress relief, anger , hurt, or whatever. If we are displaying anything that is not as it should be & we know it, then we are in that sense out of control, otherwise we would be whole in spirit.
What we are like in the spiritual reflects in our physical & vise versa. How we are spiritually determines our physical well being in a lot of cases. How we are spiritually determines how we are emotionally. Get the picture?

Our very existence depends on how we are spiritually. We are spiritual first, physical second. Not the other way around. We came here spiritually first to enter a physical body. We came from a spiritual realm, a spiritual world to the physical. We came from a place where it is inhabited by spirits. We came from & where sent by the Great Spirit. These are not just terms but literal. Spirit, spirits, spirit guides, spirit helpers, Great Spirit, spirit realm, Spirit world. Spiritual development depends on our building ourselves up spiritually.

We concentrate too much on the physical & neglect our first & foremost form, us in the spirit. We where created in the physical for this time & place. Us, spirit have been around since the time of creation. We where first created spirit, by Spirits, in a spirit realm.

If I see you as a violent individual or maybe quite the opposite, as a person who is outgoing, caring & showing love by your actions to yourself & others, then this is exactly how you are both on the outside form & as a spirit.
 
For those of you who understand the spiritual realm, have you ever wondered as to why there are those who have crossed over who are violent, unsettled, angry all the time?
This is one reason. This is probably how they were when they occupied their physical bodies. The same goes for those who are of the caring nature.
We cannot change who we are unless we do it on this side of life.

When we rid ourselves of the unwanted energies, thoughts, emotions or fears, we need to go a step further. Once that which is unwanted leaves, there is a void, an vacuum.
That spot has to to be filled with something to replace that which was taken away. If we don't want that which is negative then we obviously want that which is right. This is now what you need to seek to replace the void.

Talk to your Creator, your guides, your helpers & ask them quite literally to fill you with that which will build you up, make you into the kind of person you really want to be.
A loving, gracious person who has a heart full of love. Turn your eyes away from circumstances that hinder. Turn away as best you can from people who are negative, not only in situations but also in your life in general.
 
They're dragging you down. destroying you with their negativity if you let them. Hindering you from living life to the fullest. Hindering you from being whole. From being at peace within yourself. Hindering you from ever becoming that special person you so desperately want to be. That nagging deep inside will never go away until you do that which you know is right. Not until you take that first step to healing yourself from all those negative things that are causing you to loose out.

When you take that first step, your cry for deliverance will be heard. Your guides, helpers will attend to your needs. Once you have initially taken that step, your healing will begin. But, you say, " I'm not sick." There are many ways to being sick. You are sick in spirit  & deep inside you know it or you wouldn't be considering taking that step to make your life fuller, more complete. If you allow the healing to take place you will see yourself change in so many ways. Your attitude will change. you response to life & others will change. You will not only see but feel such a difference in yourself & you will wonder why you hadn't done this before. You missed out on so much.

So much to recover & you will if you are willing to learn, to apply the teachings to your life. Your fulfillment awaits you. The peace you seek awaits you & it's all FREE. It all depends & starts with one thing..... YOU.

Do you have bitterness, hurt, anger, mixed up emotions inside? Are you so confused as to which way life is taking you? Do you want life to make more sense to you?
The answer lies within you. The healing for all this & more lies underneath all that garbage that is causing those negative thoughts or emotions. Once you get those out, you will see what is real, what really counts for your life. your desire to become as you always knew you wanted to be will grow. It will multiply as you allow it. The only person who can start & stop the healing process is YOU.

The power is in your hands. The ability to make it happen is also in your hands. No one else can do this for you. It has to be you to make that first step. It has to be you to allow the healing powers, the healers to remove the unwanted & awaken that which is supposed to be first & foremost in your life. Did you know it was always there? It was. It was just covered up by everything else.

We are beings of love, created of love, by love & through love. We bring with us that love from the other realm when we are born. All encompassing love cannot die. It never died in you. It may seem like it did but in reality it was there all the time. You & life simply covered it up, neglected it & allowed love to be hidden way down inside you.
That which is eternal knows no death. If we can deny this love which we are apart of then we can activate it again by freeing it through getting the unwanted out of it's place in your life. You were created to love, to be full filled, to be spiritually, emotionally, mentally & physically whole.

I can guide you but I can't do it for you. The more we work at anything, the stronger it becomes in us. When life throws us a curb or someone or something causes us to have a negative reaction that we allow to fester maybe into hated or bitterness, they are by our own willingness what shapes us into who we are today. The same goes for freedom from these things. When we allow the good to grow in us, destroying the bad, goodness, truth & love flourishes. It literally becomes part of us again encompassing our lives, full filling our lives, recreating us into a more satisfying life.

People who are of a negative nature are so easy to spot. They wreaked of negativity. You can pick them out of a crowd with no problem. The reason? They are not at peace within themselves. Just as the rose has the scent of sweetness & beauty, the decaying flesh of a carcass also has its own scent. We know them by their walk, their smell of spiritual decay, their talk, their very essence. You can pick up such negativity from these people. When you do, run as fast as you can away from them. 

Get out of the range of their negativity. It can & will invade you if you are in their presence too long. Just as you linger in the presence of someone who is good hearted, loving, it also invades you. You remark how loving & sweet they are long after they have left. So it is with the negative. It lingers as a stench. It is marked in your memory, your essence, your spirit. You know them because they have the wrong spirit. Avoid anyone or anything that will tear you down.

Many things we take for granted also tear us down. Lying, cheating, gossip, trouble making, holding a grudge, hateful words or talk. These are all destroyers of us physically & spiritually. We will never grow spiritually if we allow these things & more to be part of our life. These are the subtle things in life that seem so harmless but do the most damage. Once again, it's up to us to make the change. These are all negative things that are rooted deep inside us. Do we want them there knowing just how damaging they can be? It all depends on whether we really want to be free & have that fullness in life or do we just want to continue to decay in our spirit?

I know many of you may take offence to what I am saying. That's alright with me. If you take offence that tells me that you harbor these same things in your life & these truths go against the way you are. This is the only reason you would have such a negative reaction to a message of peace & love. If you were full filled, if you were seeking with an open heart, an open mind & an open spirit you would not have such a reaction, but would be willing to at least read on without being judgemental.
Even if you never agreed, you would not be hostile to teachings of peace unless you were without peace in your own life. Change, even change for the better can be disturbing.

We become accustomed to the way we are. It becomes second nature to us. We know no other way. It becomes natural for us to do that which is negative & we become blinded to its reality. We believe & strongly support & defend our ways knowing if we allow any changes in us we loose that which is so much a part of us. A way that is who we now are. 

But, isn't that a good thing? Isn't something better more desireable?  We need to get past that blind spot in our lives to see that which is really truth.
There is an old saying that says, "Truth will set you free."  This is truth within itself. The other side of the coin is, it can only set you free if we allow it to work in our lives.

You have to want your life to change with every atom of your being before you are able to start the process of change. That's the most important step.
It needs to be your very breath in that it is the most desireable thing you want at that time. When you reach that point in your life you will be ready for the transformation to begin.
Speak to your guides. acknowledge their reality, their existence. It doesn't matter whether you have never felt their presence nor heard their voice. They were always there for you. It was you who failed to ask for help. 

Asking is the next step you need to take. It may sound crazy to you but what do you have to loose but a wrong spirit, a wrong attitude & a wrong way of life. What do you have to gain? A right spirit, a right & positive way to live, a real sense of value that will transform you into the kind of person you are supposed to be plus inner healing that you need. Now, is that so bad?

Be willing to change some things in your life.
When things start to change for the better in your life, you will see it. You will feel it. You will be able to know deep inside yourself that you are changing inside. You will notice that old things are starting to fall away while new ways of seeing things, new ways of your response to life are starting to take over.

Be amazed. Be grateful. Be happy that the change has started but whatever you do, don't stop it. Allow it to continue in your life. This is what's supposed to happen.
You wanted it. you asked for it & now it's beginning. You are receiving what you have asked for. Look deep inside & understand how you are changing even to the smallest degree.  
The ability to transform yourself into the kind of person you want to be lies within your grasp. Reach out & grab it & never let it go.
Blessings.

Your Spirit Guide

Spirit guides are a big topic these days & for good reason. More & more people are finding that they are interested in a variety of topics that involve spirits. We are not alone in this world. 

Teachings that have existed for thousands of years that involve spirits, fairies, the occult, Native beliefs & practices, & the list goes on, are finally coming to light as a bonifide & legitimate set of beliefs.


Don't expect to win the world with your beliefs. As long as you are content, satisfied & at peace with yourself on who you are, what you accept as truth & practice it in action, your on the right track.


I met my spirit guide a few years ago. It was a moment that caused an awakening for me in my spirit & transformed my understanding of the spirit realm & my life . 

In our home, we have a large number of Aboriginal ornaments & artifacts. I remember as I would lay in bed, the sound of some of the statues & pieces being moved on a table we have in our bedroom. 

At first I thought that maybe a mouse had gotten in & was scurrying around. I finally realized that these items were being picked up as I could hear them very gently being set back in place. Have I spooked you yet? Don't be. 

Everything I am relaying here is true & for a point. This went on for a few days. If I turned on the light, it would always stop, but resume shortly after all was dark again.


My youngest daughter came to me a few days later, telling me about seeing a little Aboriginal girl in my room. With us being of Native decent, I knew that such things were possible & I had no doubts that she had indeed seen someone. I had her describe the girl to me.


About a week later, a friend & myself had gone into a restaurant for a coffee. We were sitting there relaxing when I happened to look out the window, as our table was against the outside of the building. Everything within me froze. Not with fear, but with wonderment & amazement at what I saw.


About in midair, I watched as an Aboriginal man, in his 30's, long, straight black hair, knelt on the ground, hands raised high in the air in honor of his Creator. He had no shirt on & I listened as I heard him cry & wail a chant that I knew came from the very depths of his heart.

He was pouring out his soul in his prayers & honor. I was transfixed as I stared. I felt like an intruder, but I also knew that I was being given a special chance to not only watch a ceremony of honor but to see someone from the realm of the spirits. 

In my spirit, I knew that he had lived on this earth more than a hundred years before. It was a realization that just appeared to my mind. Somehow, I just had this knowledge from him.


The whole revelation lasted about five seconds, but within that time, I had seen a miracle, if you will, that a lot of people never get the chance to see.


I turned to my friend & stared. When I asked her if she saw what had just happened, she looked puzzled & said, she hadn't seen anything. Everything in the restaurant was normal as it should be. Was I losing it? NO! It was all very real.


Shortly after, my same daughter who had seem the little girl came to me one night, telling me about seeing the girl again. 

This time though, she said there was a man with her. I hadn't mentioned anything to her about seeing this man. I was curious, so I had her describe what he looked like. She took me up to our room & showed me exactly where they were standing. 

She said it was like they were just above the floor, floating. She showed me how he stood there with his hands folded in the sign of peace across his chest, indicating that his mission was one of non violence. 

My daughter had never been taught about this sign of peace before. She had no knowledge of any of this beforehand. She described for me in detail what he looked like, where they stood & what was said.


The man my daughter described to me was the same man I saw a few days earlier. Even as I write this article, I can feel a presence around me It was & is such a real & transforming experience.


My daughter told me about talking with this girl as they both stood there looking at my daughter.She said they both had such a look of peace & contentment on their faces. I ask her what the little girl had told her. She said that her name was Makala, & that she was of the Algonquin tribe. The man turned out to be her father.


Since that time, Makala has visited our home on numerous occasions. We have come to realize a love that has developed for these people & feel love in return.We have heard many conversations taking place in our daughters room. Not like the childlike ones you hear when a child makes up a make believe friend. These where actual, intelligent, back & forth conversations. 

I have walked into the room & realized that there was a presence there. The man turned out to be my guide & his daughter was to be the guide for my daughter.


To this day, whenever I am in need, have a prob to work out or need advice about something, I hear my guide speak the answer or suggestion to me. I have come to understand that he is here as my helper, my guide, & he has become my closest friend from the world beyond. 

I have no doubt that he will remain with me while I'm here on the earth. I also know in my heart, that in the next world, our friendship will continue as long as there is time & eternity.


We all have a spirit guide. We are not alone. Many times we may not always feel their presence, but they are there to support you, to guide you, to walk with you through every step you take in this life. Honor them as they honor you. 

Your guide may be someone from the past, as mine is, or maybe an angel or quite possibly someone you don't even know, but they are real & will help you when you when needed.


Trust what your guide tells you. Always know that it is your guide speaking, guiding you. If it is, the impression or the voice will grow more intense in a lot of cases. Learn to hear your guide.

Talk to them. It may sound silly for those who have never experienced this before, but try it, alone. Tell them they are welcome in your life & that you want to be their friend as they want to be yours. In time, you will understand that the sensations, the feelings of someone being beside you are real. 

Not just your imagination. Learn to tell the different between your thoughts & desires & the directions of your guide. If an idea or thought or impression comes to you, always examine it , analyze it to make sure that it is not just some whim that has crossed your mind. 

In time you will be able to tell the difference. You will be able to hear your guide, to feel their presence on a regular basis.


I hope that something I have said here will be of a comfort or maybe an encouragement for those who read it.

The truth lies within all of us. Search the soul to discover yourself.
